Note on a Fall of Volcanic Dust in the South Atlantic Ocean. 
A sample of volcanic dust has recently been presented to Director 
Edw. S. Holden, of the Lick Observatory, by Capt. W. W. Hardy, of the 
bark W. W. Crapo, with the following notes on its occurrence: "The 
shower of dust occurred between 8 and 9 p. m., May 26th, 1892, in lat. 
43<> S., long. 54° 20' W.; the wind N. W., velocity about 8 iniles per 
hour. At sunset, four hours before the shower, the western sky was 
very red." The sample was transmitted by Director Holden to the 
Mineralogical Museum of the University of California. 
The geographic position mentioned is distant 370 miles in a southeast 
direction from the nearest land — the coast of the Argentine Republic, 
and about 600 miles north of the Falkland Islands. The nearest vol- 
canoes are those of the Southern Andes, distant about 500 miles to the 
northwest. 
The dust is a fine powder, slightly gritty and of a dirty white color.
